Join us at Holy Cross as we enter into the most sacred days of our faith - the Triduum - and celebrate the joy of Easter.

From the Last Supper to the Cross, and from the silence of Holy Saturday to the glory of the Resurrection, these days invite us to pray, reflect, and rejoice together as a community.

Triduum Schedule:
• Holy Thursday (April 2) – 7:00pm Mass of the Lord’s Supper
• Good Friday (April 3) – 3:00pm Good Friday Service | 6:00pm Stations of the Cross
• Holy Saturday (April 4) – 7:30pm Easter Vigil

Easter Sunday (April 5):
Mass at 7:30am, 9:30am, and 11:30am

Come walk this journey with us, and celebrate the hope of the Resurrection.

Happy Epiphany!

The Epiphany Home Blessing:
Prayer Leader: Lord Jesus Christ, the three kings presented their gifts to you in praise and adoration: grant that those living in this house may use their talents and abilities to your greater glory.

(invites all present to say the Lord’s Prayer)

The leader says the prayer of blessing with hands joined: Lord God of heaven and earth, you revealed your only-begotten Son to every nation by the guidance of a star. Bless this house and all who inhabit it. Fill us with the light of Christ, that our concern for others may reflect your love. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
R/. Amen.

The leader concludes the rite by signing himself or herself with the sign of the cross and saying: May Christ Jesus dwell with us, keep us from all harm, and make us one in mind and heart, now and forever.

R/. Amen.

Start the New Year the best way possible… together at Mass!

January 1 is the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God and a Holy Day of Obligation. As we step into a new year, we place our lives, families, and hopes into God’s hands and ask Mary’s intercession to guide us forward.
